This revelation comes shortly after Snoop Dogg and celebrity chef Martha Stewart launched ‘Best Bud Bags,’ designer clutches equipped with a lighter and a compartment for weed. Snoop Dogg, a longstanding advocate for marijuana, hails from California, the first state to legalize the drug for medical use.

His company, Leafs By Snoop, founded in 2015 in Denver, Colorado, specializes in cannabis strains, concentrates, flowers, and edibles. Snoop Dogg’s journey in the music industry, marked by hits like “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” has been intertwined with his iconic association with marijuana, a symbol he prominently featured on Dr. Dre’s album cover, ‘The Chronic.’ As the hip-hop legend navigates this unexpected shift, fans await further developments in this intriguing chapter of Snoop Dogg’s journey.
